    I haven't been contacted by any families through this site, all have come to me from Kijiji or word of mouth.

    Hi, unfortunately the late changes happening is also affecting to many providers some are closing. I have noticed many of us are looking for the over two years Olds.

    Try to post in bulletin boards, playgroups, schools, facebook groups, community centres, parents resource centres. Post on parks, mails boxes. Most of my clients see me always out visiting this places and I did not advertise. I have tried posting here but it seems now facebook groups are popular.

    I still get messages from this website, but it has definitely slowed down. Most of my inquiries are from my web page and FB business page. Utilize as much online advertising as you can. That's where everyone looks at the start.

    Sometimes the wording of ads can be an issue as well, as parents are not likely to respond to ads with poor grammar and spelling, ads that seem desperate, etc. Could you give us an example of one of your postings so that we can help if the wording is a problem?

    Well- this can be a quiet time of the year but can you post a info sheet with your phone number that can be torn off at the bottom of the page at a local school and community centres plus a local gym as new Moms go there etc also check out the new moms facebook community in your area

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
